Santa used to get lost a lot as he travelled around the world. So he developed a device to guide him.
He patented this device.
Unfortunately he was dyslexic so instead of being called a Santav it became a Satnav.

 

[Drago]

Satnavs were invented by Christopher Columbus in 1231. When navigators became tired the captain would have brought forward a comfortable stool for the nav to sit on. While in such a position of repose the nav was sat, which eventually was shortened to satnav. This was further altered overtime for Audi drivers, where it became known as t**tnav.

The first ever system devised for navigation relied on a network of percussionists who each constantly drummed out a slightly different beat, enabling travellers to establish where they were based on the rhythm.

This was known as "tom tom" navigation and was such an effective system that the name continues to be used to this day.
